Chapter 676: The Establishment of Durandal

Kant woke up early the next morning. After washing up, he asked someone to lead the way to the construction site.

A large group of uniformed army workers were gathered in the workshop. They were probably preparing to assemble.

Kant and the attendants walked to the end of the line and stood still. Many workers around them noticed the luxurious clothes they were wearing and looked at them.

But no one knew that Kant was the Lord of Drondheim. The workers only talked to each other and guessed the identity of the two men. They did not go forward to talk.

The daily gathering would be held after breakfast. The leader of the repair team, Kloritz, would speak at this time. The garrison led by Adonis would also be present.

When Kant and the others entered the field, Adonis locked his gaze on the two men.

However, he remembered what Kant had said before, that he did not want the workers to notice his identity as the Lord. So, he did not go forward to greet them.

When the gathering was over and the workers received their tasks and went to look for the team on their own, they dispersed.

Adonis summoned Kloritz and walked to Kant. He bowed his head and said, “Hello, Lord.”

“Mm.” Kant glanced at the two of them and nodded. Then, he said to Kloritz, “I’ll have to trouble you this time.”

“It’s our honor for the Lord to come here to survey. We won’t feel troubled,” Kloritz shook his head and hurriedly said.

“Hehe.” Kant smiled. Thinking that today was the first time he met Kloritz, he didn’t say anything else.

“What about General Adonis? Is there anything you want to report?” Kant turned his head and asked Adonis.

“Yes, Lord. Yesterday you have asked us to discuss the name of this city internally. The soldiers and I have come up with one. We want the Lord to hear it,” Adonis said in embarrassment.

“So soon?” Kant raised his eyebrows. “Then let me hear it from you. What name do you want?”

“Durandal,” Adonis said, and then he cast a cautious look at Kant.

Kant nodded. He had heard of this name, Durandal. It had an unchanging meaning. The former Holy Knight, Roland’s sword, was also called this name.

“As expected, it’s a name that was thought of by people who came from the military,” Kant said affirmatively. “It’s quite good, and it also matches this city. If I didn’t think of it, I would use this.”

“Thank you, Lord,” Adonis said with gratitude.

“Take this as an urgent report to Drondheim. The craftsmen in the main city will make a suitable plaque for Durandal,” Kant instructed.

“Got it,” Adonis agreed, and then he left.

“Durandal is such a good name,” Kloritz said, “This city will also become a sharp sword that Drondheim expects.”

“I hope so,” Kant said thoughtfully. “I didn’t expect Captain Kloritz to read such a long history of heroic poetry.”

“No, I just saw that some soldiers liked it very much, so I was influenced and learned a little about it,” Kloritz heard Kant’s ridicule and hurriedly declined.

“Well, I also read ‘The Song of Roland’ a long time ago. The words in the poem could easily stir up the blood in everyone’s hearts. Captain Kloritz learned something very good,” Kant continued.

“Thank you, Lord, for your praise,” Kloritz replied with embarrassment.

“Where should we go today?” Kant asked as they got back to business.

“I want to bring the Lord to take a look at the coal mines in the outskirts of the city. That place hasn’t been developed by the undead before,” Kloritz replied.

“Yes.” Kant nodded and agreed.

Not long after, Kloritz’s men brought a carriage and horses.

“Don’t we need to ride camels?” Kant asked curiously. Speaking of the suburbs, the distance should be quite far. He roughly recalled the distance between the center of the city and the boundary marked with the coal mine on the paper he saw last night.

“The workers in the army have already built a shortcut in the city. If we take that road, the distance will shrink quite a bit, and the road is very flat,” Kloritz explained in detail.

After Kant heard this, he boarded the carriage in peace.

Accompanying him were his personal guards and soldiers.

The space in the carriage was relatively wide, and the cushions were covered with silky and soft brocade. This cushioned the bumpy road to the greatest extent.

The area of the Undead City was relatively wide, to begin with. Kloritz rode his horse in front to lead the way to the mining area in the western suburbs.

After an hour or so, while sitting in the carriage, Kant looked through the window railings, he saw that the buildings had become sparser and sparser. The surrounding scenery had become a desert filled with yellow soil, and the temperature in the carriage was constantly rising.

After a while, the carriage stopped.

“Have we arrived?” Kant asked in his heart.

The coachman who was in charge of driving the horse raised the curtain of the carriage and said to Kant, “My Lord, we have arrived at our destination. Please get off the carriage.”

Kant nodded and tidied his clothes. He stepped on the stairs and got off the carriage.

When he saw him, Kloritz said to him, “Lord, the construction site of the coal mine is in front of us.”

Kant’s line of sight passed Kloritz and looked at the newly built workers’ dormitory in the distance.

“Yes.” Kant continued to look around and replied, “Then let’s go to the site to take a look now.”

The group set off towards the coal mining site.

“This time, we discovered an open-pit coal mine, so it didn’t take much time to prepare for construction. Up until now, the amount of coal stored in the factory has reached dozens of tons,” Kloritz introduced to Kant as he walked.

“Are we still using manual coal mining?” Kant asked.

“That was before, but after applying for assistance from the main city of Drondheim, the workers have already begun to learn how to use portable machines to mine coal,” Kloritz replied.

Kant glanced at the staff dormitory in the desert and continued, “This kind of working environment is still too harsh. Did any employees report to you any suggestions from the workers?”

“Not for the time being.” Kloritz thought about it and shook his head.

“Then I’ll arrange a task for you. Go to the workers and do a detailed investigation in the next week. See if they have any requests. After you have checked, summarize the document and report it to me,” Kant arranged.

“Got it.” Kloritz nodded and reminded his subordinates to quickly record it in words.

Kant panted as he looked up at the sun hanging in the middle of the sky. He could not help but sigh in his heart. He had been sitting in the palace for the past half a year and did not do any exercise at all. His physical fitness had indeed decreased a little.
